He's become a fairly crisp route runner. Ability to create separation through precision and uses his size well.

Not at all saying that he's Julio, but their combine measurables are semi-similar.

Disappeared when he signed with Bills. Had something like 380 yards in 2 seasons. I hope change in scenery will bring him back. Has ideal size and speed for wide out.

I wanted us to draft him. JERRY RICE'S COUSIN!!!! Finally home!!!

****HOOVER, Ala. -- Plenty of wide receivers idolize legendary San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice.
Far fewer have ever met him. And far fewer than that consider him family.
So when Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews told reporters at SEC Media Days that he modeled his game after the Hall of Famer, few were surprised. Then Matthews revealed exactly how strong the connection is -- his mother and Rice are first cousins****

I wish there was some kinda stats about professional athletes with injuries that show how many come back the same/stronger or dont get back to what they was b4 the injury/more injuries...maybe if there was we wouldn't see every other post about someone complaining about so and so being hurt at one time or another

I haven't followed him for a while. Is he a Z here or a bigger slot WR here? Both?

Damn I was hoping for Chris Conley. I wanted Jordan Matthews outta the draft, so I kinda like the signing.

No he's not. Has played roughly 65-70% of his career snaps from the slot. That is where you want him at to get the most out of him.
